Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Macaulay's Essay on Addison: Edited With Introduction and Notes Sketches of the lives of Addison and Macaulay are given in other. Volumes of this series, - that of Addison, with the Sir Roger de Coverley Papers, and that of Macaulay, with his Essay on Milton. Expositions of the Essay, as such, and of the Biographical Essay, have also appeared in the volumes which contain the Essay on Milton and Southey's Life of Nelson. This introduction, therefore, will not repeat what has been already presented, but will define the Critical Essay in Literature, as illustrated in Macaulay's Addison. Macaulay's Dryden might perhaps furnish a more complete example of the critical style, because it treats almost wholly of the poet's literary efforts and skill; while the Essay on Addison weaves more largely the biographical with the critical into the composition. In his Lord Bacon, Macaulay has made the first part mainly biographical, and the last part critical. Other essays, like those on Warren Hastings and Frederick the Great, are historical and biographical. Literature is distinct from science and philosophy. The term belles-lettres does not include the whole of its domain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-12-04 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Macaulay's Essay on Addison IN this famous Essay a great English man Of letters gives us his help towards the study of one of his predecessors. He places at our service his wonderful memory, his power of marshalling facts and details in array, his skill in story-telling, his own never-failing interest in the story he has to tell. The Essay is well worth reading because it was Macaulay that wrote it. It is also worthy Of study because it is about Addison - the dear parson in the tye-wig, as Thackeray called him, because, without assuming the dress Of a clergyman, he became, in his gentle humorous way, a preacher Of morals to his age - one of the most loveable characters among literary men, and one of the greatest writers Of English prose. Again, it deserves to be studied because it tells us so much about a most interesting period, the age Of Queen Anne, the age Of the famous London coffee-houses, when English politics and English literature were more closely connected than they have ever been before or since.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Macaulay's Essay on Addison: Edited and Annotated IN the preparation of the following introductory matter an effort has been made to present only that which will be available and useful to the average student. Critical analyses and discussions have been studiously avoided. Generally the introduction to a work of this class is carefully skipped by students, and sometimes, no doubt, wisely. Yet there is a certain kind and amount of introductory work which needs to be done in order to prepare the way for the proper study of any author, and it is hoped that the following pages will not altogether fail to meet this necessity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Macaulay's Essays on Milton and Addison Owing to the fact that two well-edited books of Macaulay's Essays have already appeared in this series, each containing information and suggestions common to all of his essays, it does not seem necessary that any part of that same matter should be repeated in this vol ume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Essays of Addison: Together With Macaulay's Essay on Addison's Life and Writings Having found the presence of a mass of explanatory notes an Obstacle to my endeavor to interest my pupils in their English reading, I have essayed to suggest a better method of procedure by preparing texts in such a manner as rather to call for research than to make research needless by giving its results. A note that tells at once what is wanted forestalls the teacher. I would co-operate with the teacher by aiding him to set the pupils at work. Accordingly I have Offered no notes whatever on passages easily explained by reference to dictionaries and encyclopedias, except perchance to give a warning that such research Should not be omitted. Only when I have found the way of research a little dark or crooked have I hinted at the path to be pursued. The notes in this volume, therefore, are distinctly meant to send the learner away from the little books in his little desk to the larger and more abundant books of the school library, and to the public and other libraries to which he may have access. I have myself found it a joy to conquer these small difficulties: this joy I would share with my pupils. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Macaulay's Essays on Milton and Addison: Edited for School Use With the hope of encouraging this attitude I have ventured to assume the responsibility of setting a oat one more annotated text of Macau lay. Realizing that, in dealing with the work of a writer Whose affiliations with literature are chie y formal (introduction, there is no escape from considerations of style, I have frankly put the matter foremost. But' I have tried to take a broad view of its significance, and in partie ular I have tried to do Macaulay justice. Alto gether too many pupils have carried away from the study of him the narrow idea that his great achievement consisted in using one or two very patent (but, if they only knew it, very petty) rhetor ical devices. It has been the primary aim of my Introduction to set these matters in their right perspective. I have not outlined specific methods of study, which are to be found everywhere by those who value them, but both Introduction and Notes contain many suggestions. It seems better to stop at this. Even the few illustrations I have used have been preferably drawn from essays not here printed. No editor should wish to take from teacher or pupil the profit of investigation or the stimulus of discovery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Macaulay's Essays on Addison and Milton It may be said, in the first place, that an intelligent and well educated reader does use reference books in connection with his reading. If he is confronted with a word in his own language which gives him no meaning, he reaches for his dictionary; if he finds his geography deficient, he is pretty likely to get out his atlas. He does these things for two reasons. His mind is alert, and seeking all the time to grasp the essential meaning of what he reads; if he fails to grasp it, he feels himself baffled and puzzled, and knows he has lost a part of the enjoyment of the author. Further, he wishes to increase his general knowledge. The best informed persons are just those who are most eager to be better informed.

Newcomer I cannot atter myself that I have achieved con sistency in my own notes and glossary. To recur to the illustration above, I have omitted the name of Dr. Robertson, because Macaulay seems to 'tell us enough about him, while I have added a few words about Fracastorius in order that he may be to the reader something more than a name. But I cannot help suspecting that 'it is a waste of energy for any one to try to impress even this name on his mind, and I should be quite satisfied that a pupil of mine should never look it up, provided he had alertness enough to see that Fracastorius wrote in Latin though he was not a Roman, and discrimination enough to feel that there are other allusions 'of an entirely different character which must be looked up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Writings of Addison: With Notes and Appendix NO one can read Macaulay's Essays without being struck by his fascinating ease of style, his vast eru dition and prodigious memory. So strong was his memory that he seldom forgot anything that he either read or heard; he had therefore vast stores of know ledge from which to illustrate his meaning, enforce his argument, and delight his reader. Some of his illustrations and allusions, however, are rather abstruse and not easily understood by all readers. The cursory reader indeed is often carried away by the style of his author and is content to run on from page to page without understanding every allusion: to such a reader this edition may or may not be useful. To the painstaking student, who has the time, the inclination, and the library at command to do for him self the work that has been done by the editor, this little book will be worse than useless; and the editor assures all such students that they cannot do better than work out their difficulties in their own way. But to the careful reader that has only a limited supply of books and not very much time to spare on abstruse allusions, this annotated edition will perhaps prove helpful and be more or less welcome.

He was descended on his father's side from Scotch Presbyterians; on his mother's side, from a Quaker family; and to his earnest and accomplished parents he owed many admirable traits of character.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Esays of Addison: Together With Macaulay's Essay on Addison's Life and Writings And cumbrous sentences condensed themselves into the quick reasoning and terse easy phrases of ordinary conversation. Its tone lost the pedantry of the scholar, the brutality of the controversialist, and aimed at being unpretentious, polite, urbane. The writer aimed at teaching, but at teaching in pleasant and familiar ways he strove to make evil unreasonable and ridiculous; to shame men by wit and irony out of grossness and bad manners; to draw the world to piety and virtue by teaching piety and virtue themselves to smile. And the change of subject was as remarkable as the change of form. Letters found a new interest in the scenes and characters of the common life around them, in the chat of the coffee-house, the loungers of the Mall, the humours of the street, the pathos of the fireside. Every one has felt the change that passed in this way over our literature; but we commonly talk as if the change had been a change in the writers of the time, as if the intelligence which pro duces books had suddenly taken of itself a new form, as if men like Addison had conceived the Essay and their readers had adapted themselves to this new mode of writing. The truth lies precisely the other way. In no department of human life does the law of supply and demand operate so powerfully as in literature. Writers and readers are not two different classes of men both are products of the same social and mental conditions and the thoughts of the one will be commonly of the same order and kind as the thoughts of the other.
